Chapter 1035: Overfulfilling the bargain (2)
Eleanora looked at Ballesha with a firm expression. "Sy\'ra\'s injuries will be treated soon with Paradise\'s aid, so you don\'t need to worry about her. Besides, I think this is the best solution to this issue. I won\'t change my mind, no matter what you say."
A smile appeared on her lips, causing Ballesha\'s smirk to twist into displeasure. "Paradise can help you get stronger, so you better not misuse this opportunity, or you might end up playing catch-up with me and fall even further behind."
\'They\'re both truly mentally ill,\' Orion thought. He was reminded of his happy home in Paradise and the village. Though they had their issues, he was thankful they had never arrived at such a situation.
Ballesha snorted, rolling her eyes in response. "Don\'t say I didn\'t warn you," she spat,
shifting her attention to the intimidating, inky-black masked figure before her. "How can I be sure you\'ll keep your word?"
"As the Supreme Leader of Paradise, I vow on my authority that I\'ll keep my word and not go back on what I\'ve said," Orion responded.
Ballesha was visibly stunned. She had expected she was speaking with a high-ranking individual from Paradise, but she hadn\'t anticipated that it was the Supreme Leader himself. As the sister to the former Supreme Leader, she knew firsthand what such a title meant. Her mind paused as she tried to unravel what kind of bargain her sister had struck with the Supreme Leader of Paradise that would personally attract his attention. However, she couldn\'t come up with anything, realizing there were things her sister hadn\'t told her.
Ballesha\'s shoulders slumped in relief as she nodded her head in response. Regardless, she was still going to make sure of this opportunity until the very end.
"I\'ll send someone to pick you up in a few days so we can begin your treatment, Miss Ballesha. I\'ll be taking my leave," Orion responded. The longer he remained, the more his desire to leave increased.
"Let me escort you then," Eleanora said with a nod, calmly leading the way forward as she guided Orion out of the room. Once they reached an open space, Orion activated his flying technique and soared into the sky, leaving the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City behind.
Eleanora swiftly called out to the maids in the distance, "Bring me some clean towels and ointments. Deliver them to former Princess Ballesha\'s room quickly," she ordered.
The maids nodded and swiftly left to execute the order.
Ballesha\'s Bedroom
"I never expected the Supreme Leader of Paradise to be so formidable, both in mind and strength. You should have seen me today-I could barely utter a word without immediately feeling defeated and speechless. I wonder what kind of formidable force they are to have gone unnoticed until now." Eleanora praised Paradise and its formidable Supreme Leader as she applied ointment to her sister\'s wrists and ankles, soothing the injuries caused by the enchanted chains.
"You will regret this," Ballesha said, her jaw clenched in hatred as she glared at Eleanora.
"This is the umpteenth time you\'ve said that. However, you\'ll be playing catch-up until you\'re capable of making me regret my actions. So you better not make me regret your words instead,\' Eleanora replied. "I\'ll be wiping the dye from your hair next," she stood up to position herself behind Ballesha.
Ballesha tried to move, but an invisible force instantly pinned her to her seat, making her sweat and clench her fists in frustration.
"Thanks to the Supreme Leader of Paradise, I\'ll enforce some clear new rules you must abide by. If you choose to break any of them, you\'ll be punished by spending extra time with me or assisting me with personal tasks. Do I make myself clear?" Eleanora\'s tone and expression turned icy and stern.
Ballesha hesitated before nodding.
Eleanora\'s demeanour brightened as she reverted to her other self. She continued washing Ballesha\'s hair until all the black dye was removed, revealing a striking crimson wave. "Now you look much better," she said with a satisfied smile before cleaning her hands and standing up.
"You can go take your bath now. I\'ll introduce you to the Paradise representatives. Since we\'ll both be nurtured and cared for by Paradise, it\'s best to regard them as our acquaintances," she added, moving towards Ballesha\'s wardrobe and browsing through her collection of elegant dresses.
Ballesha nodded, rising from her seat defeatedly and frustrated, "I\'ll choose my own dress," she said before walking towards the door. She quickly instructed the maids waiting outside to guide her to the royal bathing room.
Eleanora chuckled softly as she watched the scene unfold. However, her laughter faded, leaving her with a complex mix of emotions.
.......
Orion hovered high above the sky, contemplating whether to visit the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City before heading to the Outward Stronghold and eventually returning to Paradise. Feeling mentally drained, he left the day\'s tasks for Isadora to handle.
"I\'ll make a brief visit before heading back to Paradise," Orion mused, then descended towards the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City.
Their arrival was sudden and unanticipated, leaving them little time to prepare. Nonetheless, after successfully sowing the seeds of Paradise\'s influence within the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise and Sleeping Fox Runaway Cities, he decided to use this to find an opportunity to devise a strategy for integrating them into their expanding forces.
Soon, Orion descended before a narrow alley pervaded by the scent of rusted metal and smoke.
Orion summoned his miniature mountain and retrieved a new set of attire. Later, he would inform his wives about integrating an enchantment for camouflage in his attire and inform Seraphina about enhancing the Energy Mask Spectrometer with similar and other additional functions.
Draped in a hooded, light green cloak that obscured his figure, Orion stepped out of the alley and onto the bustling streets, his gaze absorbing every detail of his new surroundings.
